He was not mangled to any extent, only his arm be? ing broken and bis bead braised. He was killed instantly, it is supposed. Cuning ham's father says he thinks Sidney was asleep and it must have been his head nod? ding that the engineer saw moving ou the track.

ZANE8VILLB, Onto, September 28.-At Schultze's Opera House Roger Q Mills, of Texas, addressed an audience that filled the building from pit to dome. The doors were oponed at 8 o'clock and ten minutes later there was not a seat left. In the corridors and aisles, in tbe orchestra, in the space be? tween the wings of the stage, every inch of standing room was utilized, and not until the last words had been uttered did a single per? son leave the building. The distinguished Texan was introduced by the Hon. John O'Neill, chairman of the meet? ing, as "The man wbo had done more for the cause of labor than any other statesman that America bad produced." He was greet? ed with an ovation and it was fully five min? utes before the cheers of the audience subsided sufficiently to allow him to proceed. In bis remarks he confined himself to the tariff. He said .that if this were amere personal contest between Governor Campbell and Major McKinley be would not be here tonight, bet it is because that contest is on an issue of transcendent importance to the whole coun? try ; an issue that affects the welfare of every? one in Ohio. In the present contest," he said, "Mnjor McKinley stands for the policy of taxation not for public purposes, but taxa? tion to strangle competition in business, to throw labor out of employment, to reduce the wages of workmen, to paralyze natural in? dustries, to build np more tremendous for? tunes in tbe bands of a few until it shakes the whole fabric of popular government from tur? ret to foundation stone." There were fully five thousand persons in the crowd and more than that were turned away unable to gain admittance. - -ii Laying of Cornerstone.
